Description Unknown 2002-05-13 00:54:13 UTC 
Only a subset of all fields available in Outlook is available from Data Source 
Administration.
Comment 1 lohmaier 2002-10-30 21:14:05 UTC 
Not a wordprocessor issue. Reassigning.
Please give examples of the missing fields and please try again with a
current build.
Comment 2 Frank Schönheit 2002-10-31 09:53:45 UTC 
not sure whether this is a defect. Accessing Outlook address books
works via the Mozilla XPCOM API, and thus the restriction is by design
(Mozilla does not know more fields than the ones we provide).

maybe related: issue 5272

CC'ing John Marmion to attract his attention. John, maybe this is an
indicator that there will be a time where we do need native address
book access :). An other alternative I could imagine is to enable
"generic" fields in the Mozilla address book API, instead of the fixed
set. So an address book implementation could tell that it has
additional fields, which then could be exposed in a generic way. Just
an idea.

Comment 4 john.marmion 2002-11-05 12:04:18 UTC 
The Outlook fields, as Frank outlined, are those that are mapped to
the Mozilla Address Book fields only from which the OOo Address Book
data
source is based.  This mapping exists here:

http://dba.openoffice.org/FAQ/Outlook_field_mapping.html

Thus I would agree that  there is a case for accessing the Outlook
fields other than these and yes there are a quite a few of those, I
would argue that this is an enhancement request rather than a defect.
Comment 5 Frank Schönheit 2002-11-05 12:20:43 UTC 
John, I support this argueing :)
Comment 6 john.marmion 2002-11-12 09:45:50 UTC 
I have created issue #9162 which deals with data loss between the
mapped Outlook and OOo fields. But my presumption is that this bug is
not about the existing mapping, but the ones that are not mapped.
Comment 7 john.marmion 2002-11-12 11:59:14 UTC 
sorry that  last comment should read issue #9160.
Comment 8 Frank Schönheit 2002-12-19 14:43:50 UTC 
setting target milestone to OOo 2.0
Comment 9 Frank Schönheit 2003-02-26 10:40:55 UTC 
reassigning to the responsible developer for the Mozilla Address Book
integration
Comment 10 Frank Schönheit 2003-07-15 15:40:40 UTC 
mass re-assign of address book integration issues
Comment 11 Unknown 2003-08-08 07:55:44 UTC 
re-assign to wind
Comment 12 hans_werner67 2004-02-02 13:01:06 UTC 
change subcomponent to 'none'
Comment 13 wind.li 2004-02-10 06:15:12 UTC 
Migrate to a new account for security reasons.
Comment 14 Frank Schönheit 2004-02-19 11:39:45 UTC 
re-targeting due to shiftet priorities and resources. We cannot reasonable
attempt this for 2.0, sorry.
Comment 15 wind.li 2005-03-23 08:58:11 UTC 
working transfer

Reset the assignee to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
Comment 18 oooforum (fr) 2019-04-27 21:37:54 UTC 
Address book datasource has been removed from wizard (see issue 124183).
So, obsolete now.
